Very informative.

Good overview of serging and serging techniques.
The book was written a long time ago, and a lot of the information inside can now be found on the Internet.
No mind blowing, special techniques. Just basic serging stuff.

I have read this and plan to drag it out when I crank up my serger. I have never used the serger - but will be ready when it's plugged up and going.

Great book to read before you order your serger and use as a reference while you are using your serger.
